Yeh and he was as non-homosexual as they come. It's why only the straightest men are okay with wearing pink and letting their GF and kids put make up on them- they're secure in their sexuality. And the most sexually secure are the men that are okay with some heterosexual buttsex with their bros.
It's a wonder he could take himself seriously knowing the technology he's so proud of was invented by a superior race. Not to mention that style of hat and goggles.
He had homosexual tendencies but I dont think he ever did anything remotely sexual with men, just admiration and the weird suicide rituals.
Also, >COME TO THE FAR RIGHT WE HAVE THE: Homosexual, homosexual, homosexual, homosexual
I don't get it, he literally admits in Confessions of a Mask (which is autobiographical) that his first sexual experience was him jacking off to a painting of Saint Sebastian. Why are rightwingers so insistent on requiring complete moral virtuousness from their artists? The very nature of artistry requires some degree of eccentricity.
Oh so he wasn't actually gay, he just intimately fantasized about it in order to write a fictional account of a boy who is exactly like the real Mishima except he's gay and thinks gay thoughts all the time. I guess that makes Mishima the straightest man on the planet, then
It's called being an artist. If he just wrote a straight character and copied his own life outright, then the book wouldn't be so great.

I agree in principle, were it not that the protagonist in Confessions is basically a carbon copy of Mishima himself in all respects apart from, ostensibly, his sexual orientation. You don't find that at least a bit suspect?
>.Why are rightwingers so insistent on requiring complete moral virtuousness from their artists?
Not a rightwinger but the left is way worse in this regard.
In all likelihood he was very gay, but his novels were fiction. Most of the characters never existed. Technically speaking, you don’t have any good reason to accept one part as fact and the other fiction. And at that time in Japan, what a person did behind closed doors was pretty much their business. You didn’t talk about things like that. There might have been an implicit understanding but that’s all. He never actually revealed that he had gay sex, and more importantly, to the extent that he was attracted to men, he seemed somewhat ashamed of it. He had this whole complex around it. So to be fair, you can’t know he had gay sex, though he probably did. It doesn’t matter though because if all the other shit. The guy was a freak. He basically tried to be for Japan what Neitzsche was for Germany, a call to LARP as some ancient “self” but in modern times (in Nietzsche’s case, he mistakenly considered them Greek - at least Mishima knew he was Japanese). Mishima is like a perfect example of how not to respond to modernity, and yet, delusional Nietzscheans and Grecophiles exalt him like he’s a modern day hero. I think more than anything he’s a shining example of just how devastating modernity actually is for the right in general. You basically can’t win in it. But it was an obsession for Mishima. He was more obsessed with it than Nietzsche, Heidegger, the Nazis, anyone. It drove him mad, basically. The takeaway should be “look, this is a uniquely Western problem and we have here in Western history a way out - it’s not in Greek or Japanese history”.

Too bad because if you did you’d know it was the opposite of headcanon, but illiterates do rarely read

Yeah, I don't think progressives can even define what homosexuality is. It both is and is not.

He barely wrote anything about technology. It was his dad that was a Nazi sympathizer. He thought national socialism was the future.

>chuds on IQfy will pretend that an author who was regularly hitting pic related was a homosexual
The cope is off the charts.
That looks like a boy..
Pretty sure he denied Mishima had sex with men.
>crossdresser denies leatherdaddy he frequently associates with is involved in homosexual activity
yeah he's probably telling the truth.
Yeah. Homosexuals are, as we all know, incapable of telling the truth
Tomgirl means femboy
There are people here who think fricking males that look like that isn't gay for some reason

Wokeness at its finest.

Unironically yes.
All I see is 3 chads.
Post Mishimas.

Oh my GOD I love Mishima

Lol. What a moron.
why would anybody care about someone's sexuality as long as they keep it private?
